If Only

As I make myself a cup of coffee
I sit back and think of times that made me so happy
Meeting by chance was it or by divine design
I felt happy and myself
To be in love again
Pain I lived with for so long
I felt that love is long lost and gone
To love and be loved is a myth after all
Love with strings attached
And questions and conditions
That leaves you lonely forlorn with no trust
Bounded by civilisation and it's norms
Everyday inside we are broken and torn
If only norms could be broken
That allowed us to breathe
If only love was to love and let us live
I would have been in another space and in another time
Wrapped in arms that were divinely mine
